Still I Rise Podcast
Featuring everyday Shereos sharing inspiring stories of how they persevered after a life- altering event.
Story Crafting is a program of You Night Empowering Events and the We Lift You Up Fund - a 501c3 public charity. Our primary focus is to address emotional healing and to help women find a path forward after a cancer diagnosis. However, future plans include stories of trials and triumph from every walk of life.
Thank you to our sponsor, Dr. Martha Stewart, Board Certified Dermatologist
Dr. Martha E. Stewart is board certified by the American Board of Dermatology and specializes in medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology for patients of all ages. Dermatology plays an important role in detecting and treating skin cancer. Skin cancer is almost always curable if detected and treated early.
Skin cancers vary in shape, color, size and texture, so any new, changed or otherwise suspicious growths or rashes should be examined immediately by a board certified dermatologist. Early intervention is essential to prevent the cancer from spreading.

Still I Rise Podcast
"The Great Transformation" by Renee Vargas
Excerpt from Renee's story: "I have overcome adverse childhood experiences. I continue to work on self-growth and acceptance. I thrive to make every day better than yesterday. Challenges will arise but I am stronger now. I am breaking through. I have scraped part of my chrysalis. I see the sunshine. It is so much brighter than the darkness. I am embracing the change. I am transforming into a grateful, beautiful butterfly. I am starting anew. I am blessed for everyday God opens my eyes. I try not to miss opportunities. I take chances. I do what matters to me. I spend time with friends, yes! I have many now. I am proud of the foundation my first-born David and his high school sweetheart Sarah are building together. Codee is growing into an incredible young man. I have the love I crave from a partner and embrace making memories with Michael, and our families. In hindsight, I appreciate each of the experiences I have endured, but they have molded ME.
When you find yourself wandering around lost like the caterpillar and surrounding yourself in the darkness of the chrysalis, be thankful for little things, look for the brightside to every situation, believe in and stay true to yourself, embrace differences, and be kind and respectful. These are ways to divert yourself to seek the sunshine and when you do, you too will transform into your own beautiful butterfly."
